Teleportations and a Plan - March 1, 2024

 - Pink hoodie with cow face


- Osiris comes and asks Tina if she could teleport the group to Wistaria and Tina says maybe 

- Tiff does a Sending to Lord McNabb to ask if he has anything from Wistaria that they could borrow, but he does not.

- Osiris goes to check the library to see if there are any books from there

- Tiff takes Tina to the Groundswallow General Store to ask if they have anything from the Traveling Caravan that might have come from Wistaria.

- Over the earrings Osiris asks if anybody else had been to Wistaria, and Tiff suggests maybe Rusty can check in the history museum he's been selling Dwarven artifacts to.

- Osiris then goes and makes 17 more vials of holy water

- Tiff's parents and brother don't know if they have anything from Wistaria in the store because they don't track that sort of thing. She then casts Rope Trick so that Tina can play with her nieces and Vera and Bree and then Tiff visits with her family a little bit.

- Tina and Tiff then walk to the boarding house to say hi there as well, and so that Tiff can introduce Tina to Jinora.

- Jinora does not return in time to meet Tina that evening, so Tiff sends to her to ask if she might want to come, and she says sure.

- Raiàn and Tiff and Tina make a plan for Tina to use the circle to get them to Arrandale and then for Raiàn to teleport them from there to Wistaria, so that the mishap possibility will be smaller, since Arrandale is about 60% of the way to Wistaria from Mistverge.

- Osiris gets up as earlier as elven-ly possible, and she casts Scry on Thomas Potnam. She sees a human man in his thirties (ish). He looks disheveled and unkempt. He's staggering around the outside of a modest cottage with boarded-up windows. He's doing chores, like weeding the garden or feeding the chickens something. He seems very paranoid. It's overcast, and it looks like it might be chilly. There is a talisman over the door into the house made of bones with symbols painted around the talisman. Osiris takes notes on the talisman. Not far away from the house there is a thick copse of tree and in the other direction there is the lake and what presumable the town of Wistaria is not-quite the other side of the lake, but definitely around the bend a good bit.

- Her next activity is that she casts Legend Lore on Thomas Potnam, but nothing pops because he is not of legendary importance.

- Then before people start showing up she goes and fills in Birel on their latest task.

- She shows him her sketch of the talisman and the symbols, but he doesn't know anything about it.

- She then goes to the library to see if she can find anything about the symbols. In a book about religious symbology, she thinks they have something to do with Morgion, the god of disease and secrecy whose domain is death.

- Tiff has to come get Osiris out of the library so that Tina can get them all to Arrandale.

- Tina then teleports eight people (the PCs plus Jinora, Russell, and herself) to the academy of magic and they arrive in an open room with red, green, and gold banners and a bustling square full of mostly elves, but there are also humans, and some other of a few races.

- Tina takes them straight to Sharai's office who offers to teleport them to Wistaria.

- Tiff offers to Mend something for her before they are sent off. There's a faint look of nostalgia on her face before Sharai hands Tiff a book with a damaged spine. 

- After another quick teleport, they are standing in the town square (with a dry fountain) of presumably Wistaria. It is chilly and the fountain is dry. There are no people here. It is weirdly quiet. Tiff casts Death Ward on

- They decide to do some information gathering before just heading out.

- Tiff walks into the nearest shop that happens to be a small apothecary and asks about Thomas Potnam, any weird happenings around town, and then tells her about the Groundswallow Traveling Tinkers and Traders and how that's her family, and then buys a few Moonwort spores for 1 GP, so at least now she has a sample.

- The apothecary says that the only inn in town is the Spiral Duck on the north side of town near the lake, so they head that direction.

- They head to the inn, and there's one old man in the corner sitting at a table sipping a drink of some kind, and there's a barkeep in his 50s.

- They order food and drinks, and Osiris tells them all the things she did and saw this morning.

- While waiting for their food to arrive, Tiff heads over to the older man in the corner

 

- 3,000 XP ea for 127,300 XP total ea.
